Abstract
AT the annual general meeting of the British Empire Naturalists' Association to take place in the Artworkers' Guild Hall, London, on April 29, under the chairmanship of Mr. Richard Morse, the lecturer will be Mr. D. Seth-Smith, curator of birds at the London Zoological Gardens. The Council of the B.E.N.A. has recently drawn up a resolution protesting against the choice by the Air Ministry of a section of the Northumberland coast near the Fames, frequented by many uncommon birds and including the only English breeding station of the eider duck and the only East England breeding station of the grey seal, for a future bombing station. A new local branch for Shropshire has recently been formed by the Association, and has already begun activities. It has been decided to hold the annual B.E.N.A. all-night ramble and dawn bird song record in Surrey on the night of Saturday-Sunday, May 23-24, the organisation of this being carried out by Mr. W. J. Finnigan, who has cared for the previous all-night meetings. The B.E.N.A. herbarium, for long at Bexhill, has now been transferred to the South London Botanical Institute, 323 Norwood Road, London, S.E.24, where it may be inspected daily from 2 until 9 p.m. except on Thursdays, Sundays and days of outings of the Institute.
